FICS player list "Start Private Chat" button hangs PyChess when clicked too early

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect to FICS
2. Go to the "Player List" tab
3. Look at the "Show Chat" button. It needs to be disabled, e.g. PyChess is 
still busy connecting.
4. Click on a player and click "Start Private Chat"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
PyChess hangs. Apparently, it isn't ready to open the chat window yet (hence 
"Show Chat" is disabled), but the "Start Private Chat" button is clickable and 
probably just shouldn't be clickable at this point.

Does it happen every time?
Yes

What version of the product are you using?
hg code

Did you use an installed version of PyChess or did you run in from a
tarball/svn?
hg/svn

Since the latest FICS console merge, the chat seems to be available pretty much 
instantly, making this not reproducable anymore. If it ever becomes relevant 
again, this issue should be reopened, but for now I'll close it.
